PHP - How To Create Font Tester ?
Hi All I'm not certain this is a php issue but I just can't think how to do this so I'm open to any ideas. I'm trying to create a font tester like those found on most type foundry sites where you can enter text in field and it will appear in an area in a font picked from a list. An example of the sort of thing can be found here. http://processtypefoundry.com/fonts/klavika/try-it Any ideas on how this might be achieved would be greatly appreciated. Similar TutorialsFont tester - I thought I had it. Hi all I'm trying to produce this font tester where you can set a font with inputted text at a selected size. In my demo here http://www.ttmt.org.uk/test/ I can type in text and select the size. The image is set with the correct text and size but everything else is removed from the page. How can I do this so the image of the text appears below the form in the image tag. Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ // Set the content-type header('Content-Type: image/png'); // Create the image $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30); // Create some colors $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white); // The text to draw $text = $_POST['text']; $textSize = $_POST['size']; $font = 'corbelb.ttf'; // Add the text //imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text); imagettftext($im, $textSize, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text); // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg() $img = imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>untitled</title> </head> <body> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="text" /> <select name="size"> <option value="10">10</option> <option value="12">12</option> <option value="14">14</option> <option value="18">18</option> <option value="24">24</option> <option value="30">30</option> <option value="36">36</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Set →" /> </form> <img src="<?php echo $img; ?>" /> </body> </html> Hello everyone, I am working on a form that is similar to a shopping cart system and I am thinking of creating a button that submits the checked value and saves them to a $_SESSION variable. And also a link that links to a cart.html that takes the values of a $_SESSION variable. I am have trouble figuring what tag/attribute should I use in order to achieve that.
Right now my code attached below submits the checked values to cart.html directly. However I want my submit button to save the checked box to a $_SESSION variable and STAY on the same page. And then I will implement a <a> to link to the cart.php.
I researched a little bit about this subject and I know it's somewhat related to ajax/jquery. I just wanted to know more about it from you guys. I appreciate your attention for reading the post and Thanks!
Below is the form that I currently have:
<form name= "finalForm" method="POST" action="cart.php"> <input type="Submit" name="finalSelected"/> <?php foreach($FinalName as $key => $item) {?> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="fSelected[]" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($FinalID[$key])?>" /> <?php echo "$FinalID[$key] & $item";?> </td> </tr> <?php } ;?>Below is the code for cart.php <?php require ('connect_db.php'); if(isset($_POST['finalSelected'])) { if(!empty($_POST['fSelected'])) { $chosen = $_POST['fSelected']; foreach ($chosen as $item) echo "aID selected: $item </br>"; $delimit = implode(", ", $chosen); print_r($delimit); } } if(isset($delimit)) { $cartSQL = "SELECT * from article where aID in ($delimit)"; $cartQuery = mysqli_query($dbc, $cartSQL) or die (mysqli_error($dbc)); while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cartQuery, MYSQLI_BOTH)) { $aTitle[] = $row[ 'name' ]; } } ?> <table> <?php if(isset($delimit)) { $c=0; foreach($aTitle as $item) {?> <tr> <td> <?php echo $aTitle[$c]; $c++;?> </td> </tr> <?php }}?> </table> I've been googling with very little sucsse to find out if and how I can define a certain font to be used in the message body wtih out the viewer having to have the font installed on there computer. Is this at all possible? two questions, 1) what is the default font that is used? 2) if i wanted to change the font for the whole site, is that simple? I've been trying to create a [font] bb code for my site which would allow the attributes color, size and face, but and can't really think of any way it would work. Most of my regex is guesswork so I'm struggling with this a bit. The tag wouldn't strictly need any attributes and could be in any particular order, so it would be a lot like the html <font> tag. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. here's what I have so far: $string = preg_replace('/\[font([\sface|\ssize|\scolor\]=](.+?)(\]|\s)+)/i','',$string); The bit where I've stumbled is the second parameter. I'm not really where I'd go from there. Anyway, if you can help me, cheers! Has anyone out there ever used PHP to grab the font information of a opentype or truetype font file? For example, create a character, glyph map of all the letter designs in a font? I see many font sites do this, but I have tried doing this with imagemagick, result was way to slow and crashed out most the time. Here are a few examples I have found of working examples: http://fontshop.com/fonts/font_rend.php?idt=f&id=224932&rbe=cmap&acs=1&acs_p=1&acs_pt=32 http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/boris-marinov/dimitrina/thin/characters.html Any ideas? I have been trying for months, no results yet.. Font size GD Library Hi All I'm trying to create a font tester - http://www.ttmt.org.uk/fonts/index.php (this demo doesn't use the font I'm using.). I'm using the GD library to create images of the text. I'm not happy with the quality of the fonts at small sizes. I've tried everything to fix it but nothing is working. One suggestion I had was to create the fonts larger then reduce the size of the image. Can anyone offer any advise how I might do this? Code: [Select] <?php header('Content-Type: image/png'); $im = imagecreatetruecolor(1000, 200); $gray = imagecolorallocate($im, 240, 240, 240); $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 1000, 199, $gray); $text = $_GET['text']; $textSize = $_GET['size']; $font = $_GET['font']; imagefttext($im, $textSize, 0, 15, 160, $black, $font, $text); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); ?> Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>untitled</title> <style type="text/css"> *{margin:0;padding:0;} #wrap{margin:20px 0 0 20px;} h1{margin:0px 0 20px 0;clear:both;} h2{font-size:1.1em;margin:15px 0 5px 0;} #top{padding:0 0 20px 0;} form{margin:0 0 20px 0;} </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrap"> <form action="index.php" method="post"> <!--<input type="text" name="text" value="<?php echo $_POST['text'];?>" />--> <select name="text" > <option value="<?php echo $_POST['text'];?>">Text</option> <option value="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</option> <option value="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</option> <option value="0123456789">0123456789</option> </select> <select name="size"> <option value="<?php echo $_POST['size'];?>">Size</option> <option value="10">10</option> <option value="12">12</option> <option value="14">14</option> <option value="18">18</option> <option value="24">24</option> <option value="30">30</option> <option value="38">38</option> <option value="42">42</option> <option value="50">50</option> <option value="60">60</option> <option value="80">80</option> <option value="100">100</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Set →" /> </form> <div id="top"> <?php $theFont="corbelb.ttf"; if(!empty($_POST['submit'])){ $myText = $_POST['text']; $mySize = $_POST['size']; echo '<img src="imageftt.php?text='.$myText.'&size='.$mySize.'&font='.$theFont.'">'; }else{ $myText = "Handgloves"; $mySize = 24; echo '<img src="imageftt.php?text='.$myText.'&size='.$mySize.'&font='.$theFont.'">'; } ?> </div> </div> </body> </html> I'm writing a <font color> to mysql for later retrieval but the colors don't make sense. It's posted and retrieved in PHP. If I put in <font color=\"#ff0000\">RED</font> it gets properly stored in the db (I can see it) but it gets retrieved and shows up green instead. I've tried doing the stripslashes() with addslashes(), tried <font color=\"#red\">RED</font> and <font color=\"red\">RED</font>.. no matter what config I try, I always get the word RED showing up green as if I had used <font color=\"#00ff00\">RED</font> instead (when I tried <font color=\"#00ff00\">RED</font> it shows up black. I give. What am I doing wrong? I know it's something dumb, but I can't find a similar issue with any searches. BTW, viewing the Source Code from the rendered page when it's posted shows it's properly tagged as red: color=\"#ff0000\" .Thanks. hi, i want to resize the font-size in my website ussing php butt it doenst work why ?? can someone help me to get it working??

I've seen some simple examples which work great but now I have this variable that comes from the database and I would like to style the variable in-line with html markup.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
<?php
echo "Price : ",'<Font size="100"> $tournament["pricePerPlayer"] </font>';
....more of the same code goes here...
?>
I can't get $tournament["pricePerPlayer"] to be controlled by the font tag. How do I do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I need to draw various font sizes onto a canvas to create a web service. Wanting to protect my HD assets, the intent is to use PHP to populate the image with the necessary text, and then scale down the image before presenting it to the user. <?php $img = imagecreatetruecolor(750, 530); $black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0); $gray = imagecolorallocate($img, 125, 125, 125); $white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255); $font = realpath('../fonts/micross.ttf'); $size = 12; $spacing = 20; for ($x = 0; $x <= 25; $x++) { $box = imageftbbox($size + $x/10, 0, $font, "The longer the phase the more apparent the size difference should be"); $boxWidth = $box[2] - $box[0]; imagefilledrectangle($img, 5, $x*$spacing+5, $boxWidth+5, ($x+1)*$spacing+5, $gray); imagefttext($img, $size + $x/10, 0, 5, $spacing*($x+1), $white, $font, "The longer the phase the more apparent the size difference should be Font Size ".($size+($x/10))); } imagejpeg($img); imagedestroy($img); ?> You can see how despite the font size steadily increasing by 0.1, it sporadically jumps at what seem at first like random intervals, however if you increase the number of loops and log the data, you can see that it alternates between increasing every 0.7, and 0.8. Unfortunately that doesn't help me any, just some insight. if($last != $boxWidth) { $last = $boxWidth; echo $boxWidth." ".($size+($x/10))."<br>"; }
This outputs the current width and font size each time the text width changes. echo "<font style ='background-color: yellow;'>Report #    {$report_number}    Date of Incident:    {$date}</font>"; If works.........I just want to make sure it is ok? What do ya think? This topic has been moved to CSS Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=342818.0 I need to be able to create an image from user input. I have found a couple of samples that purport to do that but when I copy the code I can't get it to work. I would appreciate advice as to what I am doing wrong please. One example I tried is from a tutorial on this site: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/php-add-text-to-image Now perhaps there is something I am doing wrong when I call on the image that is supposed to display but given that I have tried the same code with other images and it works I can't see what I am doing wrong, unless there is something in the nature of scripts that requires some extra steps. Here is my code to see the image (note that 'myscript.php' in my code is in the same folder as the code I am calling: <html> <head> <title>Using Images Created by Scripts</title> </head> <body> <h1>Generated Image Below ...</h1> <img src="myscript.php"/> </body> </html> Can anyone help? Thank you Hi, I am creating an image with a random number to use as a capcha. I've done the image creation before and had it working but now I have a font path error. However......I know my font path is the same...I didn't change it and it was working perfectly. What I changed was I made the image creation piece of code into a function...so I could return a value and use the function as a capcha....can you not use this image creation stuff in a function? The difficulty is getting hold of the random number to verify someone typed it correctly. If you have any ideas I'm open to other methods. My code is: function capcha(){ $capchatxt = rand(10000,99999); $font = '/includes/balloon.ttf'; $textarray = imagettfbbox(30, 0, $font, $capchatxt); $width = $textarray[2]-$textarray[0]; $height = $textarray[3]-$textarray[7]; $image = imagecreate($width+10,$height+10); $background = imagecolorallocate ($image, 255,227,232); $colour = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 154, 239); // blue; $pink = imagecolorallocate($image, 239, 0, 144); // crimson pink; $peach = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 227, 232); // pale pink; // Add the text imagettftext($image, 30, 0, 5, $height+5, $pink, $font, $capchatxt); header('Content-type: image/png'); imagepng($image); imagedestroy($image); return $capchatxt; } At the moment: The function and the font file are in the same folder. The file which is calling the function is in a different folder. BTW - Forgot to mention that right now I'm using localhost (xampp)...not a real server. Thanks for the help.
